Amplifier input signal overdrive auto-protection

Hosted circuit

 



That circuit protects the overdriven signals going into an amplifier. Instead of a zener diode we use a transistor. That way we ensure that the above the ordinary input voltages ( 1 volt r.m.s.) can be acheaved without distortion. Also the use of a transistor limits the number of components used in this schematic.
Amplifier input signal overdrive auto-protection

You don't need any potentiometers or voltage dividers. The total distortion at the output until 700mV r.m.s. is 0%. Above that until 1V r.m.s. the total harmonic distortion can be 0.02%.
